Changes since Maelstrom-2

• Signal listeners run independently; a yielding or failing listener does not block the others.
• State resync has request IDs and bounded retries. Live updates continue while a snapshot is in flight.
• Internal state messages use a reserved reliable route, separate from game event handlers and middleware.
• Player initialization runs independently per player. Plugin startup and cleanup handle failures more strictly.

See the Maelstrom-2 migration guide for behavior changes and upgrade checks.
